The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 5.18. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-5.18 advisory.

  - When using the Apache JServ Protocol (AJP), care must be taken when trusting incoming connections to     Apache Tomcat. Tomcat treats AJP connections as having higher trust than, for example, a similar HTTP     connection. If such connections are available to an attacker, they can be exploited in ways that may be     surprising. In Apache Tomcat 9.0.0.M1 to 9.0.0.30, 8.5.0 to 8.5.50 and 7.0.0 to 7.0.99, Tomcat shipped     with an AJP Connector enabled by default that listened on all configured IP addresses. It was expected     (and recommended in the security guide) that this Connector would be disabled if not required. This     vulnerability report identified a mechanism that allowed: - returning arbitrary files from anywhere in the     web application - processing any file in the web application as a JSP Further, if the web application     allowed file upload and stored those files within the web application (or the attacker was able to control     the content of the web application by some other means) then this, along with the ability to process a     file as a JSP, made remote code execution possible. It is important to note that mitigation is only     required if an AJP port is accessible to untrusted users. Users wishing to take a defence-in-depth     approach and block the vector that permits returning arbitrary files and execution as JSP may upgrade to     Apache Tomcat 9.0.31, 8.5.51 or 7.0.100 or later. A number of changes were made to the default AJP     Connector configuration in 9.0.31 to harden the default configuration. It is likely that users upgrading     to 9.0.31, 8.5.51 or 7.0.100 or later will need to make small changes to their configurations.
    (CVE-2020-1938)

  - rtl_p2p_noa_ie in drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/ps.c in the Linux kernel through 5.3.6 lacks a     certain upper-bound check, leading to a buffer overflow. (CVE-2019-17666)

  - The Linux kernel before 5.1-rc5 allows page->_refcount reference count overflow, with resultant use-after-     free issues, if about 140 GiB of RAM exists. This is related to fs/fuse/dev.c, fs/pipe.c, fs/splice.c,     include/linux/mm.h, include/linux/pipe_fs_i.h, kernel/trace/trace.c, mm/gup.c, and mm/hugetlb.c. It can     occur with FUSE requests. (CVE-2019-11487)

  - A flaw was found in the fix for CVE-2019-11135, in the Linux upstream kernel versions before 5.5 where,     the way Intel CPUs handle speculative execution of instructions when a TSX Asynchronous Abort (TAA) error     occurs. When a guest is running on a host CPU affected by the TAA flaw (TAA_NO=0), but is not affected by     the MDS issue (MDS_NO=1), the guest was to clear the affected buffers by using a VERW instruction     mechanism. But when the MDS_NO=1 bit was exported to the guests, the guests did not use the VERW mechanism     to clear the affected buffers. This issue affects guests running on Cascade Lake CPUs and requires that     host has 'TSX' enabled. Confidentiality of data is the highest threat associated with this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2019-19338)

  - The xz_decomp function in xzlib.c in libxml2 2.9.1 does not properly detect compression errors, which     allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (process hang) via crafted XML data.

According to the versions of the parallels-server-bm-release / vzkernel / etc packages installed, the Virtuozzo installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern     microprocessor designs have implemented speculative     execution of instructions (a commonly used performance     optimization). There are three primary variants of the     issue which differ in the way the speculative execution     can be exploited. Variant CVE-2017-5754 relies on the     fact that, on impacted microprocessors, during     speculative execution of instruction permission faults,     exception generation triggered by a faulting access is     suppressed until the retirement of the whole     instruction block. In a combination with the fact that     memory accesses may populate the cache even when the     block is being dropped and never committed (executed),     an unprivileged local attacker could use this flaw to     read privileged (kernel space) memory by conducting     targeted cache side-channel attacks. NOTE: This update     fixes the 32-bit compatibility layer on x86-64     processors, i.e. when 32-bit containers are executed on     64-bit processors.

  - A bug in the 32-bit compatibility layer of the ioctl     handling code of the v4l2 video driver in the Linux     kernel has been found. A memory protection mechanism     ensuring that user-provided buffers always point to a     userspace memory were disabled, allowing destination     address to be in a kernel space. This flaw could be     exploited by an attacker to overwrite a kernel memory     from an unprivileged userspace process, leading to     privilege escalation.

  - The KEYS subsystem in the Linux kernel omitted an     access-control check when writing a key to the current     task's default keyring, allowing a local user to bypass     security checks to the keyring. This compromises the     validity of the keyring for those who rely on it.

  - A flaw was found in the processing of incoming L2CAP     bluetooth commands. Uninitialized stack variables can     be sent to an attacker leaking data in kernel address     space.

  - Linux kernel before version 4.16-rc7 is vulnerable to a     null pointer dereference in dccp_write_xmit() function     in net/dccp/output.c in that allows a local user to     cause a denial of service by a number of certain     crafted system calls.

  - A flaw was found in the way the Linux kernel handled     exceptions delivered after a stack switch operation via     Mov SS or Pop SS instructions. During the stack switch     operation, the processor did not deliver interrupts and     exceptions, rather they are delivered once the first     instruction after the stack switch is executed. An     unprivileged system user could use this flaw to crash     the system kernel resulting in the denial of service.

  - net/netfilter/xt_osf.c in the Linux kernel through     4.14.4 does not require the CAP_NET_ADMIN capability     for add_callback and remove_callback operations. This     allows local users to bypass intended access     restrictions because the xt_osf_fingers data structure     is shared across all network namespaces.

  - The futex_requeue function in kernel/futex.c in the     Linux kernel, before 4.14.15, might allow attackers to     cause a denial of service (integer overflow) or     possibly have unspecified other impacts by triggering a     negative wake or requeue value.
